On Sunday evening, the  Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Ascension will host a joint service involving Trinity Lutheran Church in Hixson and Christ the King Lutheran Church in Dalton.

Our speaker at the service will be Rabbi Craig Lewis of Chattanooga’s Mizpah Synagogue who will speak on Jewish Christian relations and reconciliation.

Given the horrific tragedy in Pittsburgh on Saturday morning, this simple gathering we have been planning for months has instantly taken on a new level of significance.

The service always has been open to the public, but we want to extend an extra invitation to anyone seeking a place to gather and pray in the wake of this tragedy.

The service will be at 7  p.m. at Ascension Lutheran Church 720 S. Germantown Road East Ridge, TN 37412

All people regardless of race, religion, political affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, or other factors are welcome.
